About this trial
The goal of this observational study is to identify behavioral and physiological markers of social alterations in Autism Spectrum Disorders compared to Typically Developping peers. This single-centre study plan to use eye tracking to evaluate social disorders in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). The investigators will estimate oculometric and pupillometric indices as potential ASD biomarkers. The study will last 4 years and will be organized in two phases.
